Public and Members-Only Communities

Communities are designed to allow for the communication and proliferation of best practices and knowledge among tax administration staff within defined subject areas.
FTA provides member-only communities on the following topics (public communities are indicated below). The email address of the community is the list’s name @lists.taxadmin.org. Full email addresses are listed below.

Frequently Asked Questions
It will be very helpful to everyone if you (1) make your subject line as descriptive as possible; and (2) remember to include your name and agency at the end of the message. Otherwise, in some e-mail systems, it can be nearly impossible to figure out who sent the message. (Phone numbers are also helpful).
